Product Development Manager
Advanced Technology | Multidisciplinary Engineering | End-to-End Delivery
You don’t get hired here to maintain legacy designs.
You get hired to take complex, high-performance products from concept through to real-world deployment, and make them work under pressure.
We’re partnering with a growing engineering organisation developing next-generation hardware-based systems used in demanding, real-world environments. They are scaling their product capability and need experienced Product Development Managers who can own delivery, not just coordinate it.
What You’ll Own
- Drive the full product lifecycle from concept, design, validation through to production
- Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams across electronics, software, and mechanical domains
- Translate product requirements into practical, manufacturable solutions
- Oversee prototyping, testing, and design for manufacture (DFM)
- Manage engineering governance, design reviews, and change control
- Work closely with production, supply chain, and commercial teams to ensure delivery outcomes
- Take accountability for schedule, cost, risk, and performance
What You Bring
- Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Mechatronics or Systems Engineering
- Proven experience delivering complex physical products into production
- Strong background working across multiple engineering disciplines and system integration
- Experience operating in structured engineering environments (e.g. high-reliability, regulated, or mission-critical industries)
- Ability to move between technical detail and big-picture product decisions
- Demonstrated ownership of delivery outcomes, not just participation
Why This Role
This is not a coordination role.
It’s a delivery leadership position where you will shape how products are built, validated, and brought to market.
You will be working on high-impact systems, alongside engineers who care about performance, reliability, and getting things right the first time.

If you’re currently leading products but feel boxed into process, or stuck too far from real engineering decisions, this is worth a conversation.
